MSI Demos Projector PC

Tweet

We’ve seen computers inside of monitors before, and ASUS put a computer inside of a keyboard, but now, MSI has taken it all one step further and built a fully-functional PC inside of a HD projector. The practical intent of the device is to be used as a Media Center PC, as the device is 1080p capable.

The Projector PC is simply a concept device at this point, but the computer is capable of 60-inches of 1080p video. Obviously, one advantage is that you can watch internet content, say streaming from Netflix or Hulu, on a large 60-inch 1080p projector.

The device is also capable of standing up straight at 90 degrees and playing video on the ceiling for what MSI calls ‘an alternate’ movie experience. The Projector PC was strictly a proof-of-concept and MSI didn’t give out any stats on the computer, or the projector.

The Projector PC was one of three prototypes MSI showed off at CES 2010. In addition to the projector, they showed off a 3D-capable All-In-One PC, and an All-In-One where the keyboard slide behind the monitor when not in use. MSI said the sliding keyboard design was “inspired by the elegance of the jellyfish”.

CES prototypes have a history of coming out years later, or never at all, so don’t hold your breath for the Projector PC.
